Password Protected page doesn't work

  • I’ve got a page that I set to Password Protected and gave it a password.

    When I navigate to the page and enter the password the page acts like it’s going to a new page but it just refreshes and shows the password page again. It’s a simple password ‘aaa’ so I know I’m typing it correctly.

    I’ve changed the theme to twenty-fourteen and that didn’t fix it. Then I went through the plugins one by one and disabling them didn’t fix it either.

    I’m kind of at a loss as to what to try next.

    I’m using theme The 7. But I doubt it’s a theme issues since it happened with twenty-fourteen theme also.

    Help?

  • Hi:

    If the page content is not overly sensitive can you post a link to it here? Or if it is sensitive can you create a new dummy page with a simple password and share?

    This would allow us to duplicate the behavior you are experiencing.

    I’ve tried password protecting any page and the same thing happens.

    Here’s a test page.

    The password is ‘asdf’ without single quotes.

    JH,
    Have you thought about a simple membership plugin? Most are free and work really simple…to me a better option than password protecting pages. Less of a headache…
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi jhwhite,

    Have you found a solution? I’m having the same problem.

    Never got it to work. I did use a free membership plugin that would let me password one page.

    @wondercore, please start your own thread and include details describing the behavior that you’re experiencing, including a link to the page that you’re having trouble with. The volunteers here will be better able to try and help you that way.
